PARIS. July 11.-ln the chamber OF
deputies to-day NJ. RevillOn, Extremist,
reproached the cabinet for remaining
neutral over the proceedings OF the
party of the right in connection with
the movements of the Comic de Paris.
Neutrality, he declared, was impossible.
The government must return to dem0c-
racv or it must retire. Nj. Rouvler,
prime minister, replied to Nj. Revlllon.
He said that in accepting office he ap-
pealed for support to the Republican
majority. He met refusal because OF
the absence of one name from the min
istry. He (the prime miniSter) did not
blame Gen. BOuianger, but he must re-
cord the fact that the general was con-
cerned in the illegal manifestation on
the occasion of the recent election OF
the deputy for the department OF the
Seine. [Applaus.l 1t became neces-
sary. therefore, to remove Gen. BOulan-
ger from his political surroundings and
return him to his proper position. If
the civil power had heSitated, added
Premier ROuvier, it was all over with it.
In concluding his speech the prime min
lister took occasion to declare that the
cObinet desired to govern with the Re
publican majority. 1t was
NOT A COMBATIVE MINISTRY.
1t did not desire to provoke or perse-
cute ANYBODY, but it would make it re-
spect both the laws of the republicy
and Republican sentiments. G. NJ. Fal-
Heres. minister of the interior, init
mated in the course of short speech
that the mayors who had participated in
the rOyaliSt manifestations on the Island
of Jersey during the recent visit there
of the cOmte de paris, the sentiments of
the cabinet were thoroughly Republl-
can, and the cabinet would glory to be
cratic reforms. The debate thus
brought Oh by the action of NJ. Revillon
was somewhat prolonged and became
quite stormy. 1t was closed by emo
ton of Prime Minister R0uvier that the
chamber pass the order of the day. The
motion was carried by vote of 3S2,
ayes to 120 noes.
In the course of the debate Clemen-
ceau charged the government with being
in league with the Conservatives. The
BOulanger question arose during a COM
pIete Discrimination of the Republican
party. He condemned demonstrations
in favor of Boulanger, but added that was
easily explained. People believed they
saw in BOulanger, not deliverer, but
man attacked by the German press and
the French conservatives. His popu
larity was that which the chamber
should have had, had it resolutely
entered upon the work of reform. Pub
lie opinion was not miSled. Lead
ers were needed whose motto
was forward" who were for the
republic against monarchy. He was
not able to understand why there were
Boulangists and danti-BOulangists. BOu
langer was now in his proper position
and where he ought to remain. Laisant,
amid great uprOar. tried to defend
Boulanger. He said the cabinet
constituted under foreign pressure
This assertion brought Premier Rouvier
to his feet. and he threatened to leave
the chamber unless the president called
LaiSant to order. which WIS done. ROu
ver replied to Clemenceau. He said, i'll
fleet, the government was still deSirouS
of having a Republican majority, but as
the right had assisted in solving many
questions, and while he would not
ask their support he would not
consider them enemies. He de-
clared if 200 Republicans
voted against them the ministry would
resign. At the closing Sittings there
were well credited rumOrs atiOat that
President Floquet would resign and that
the government were urging him to re-
consider his determination.
